Cats have been a part of Istanbul’s history for thousands of years. They are given free reign in this city of 15 million humans. You may recall the 2016 film Kedi, beautifully-shot documentary that tracks the stories of seven cats that live on Istanbul’s streets and showcases the city’s love of cats. A recent article takes an in depth look at the fascinating history and lives of Istanbul’s cats. Visit Turkish Vibe to read Capital of the Cats: Istanbul.

Wasn’t it in Turkey where the cat walked onto the fashion runway one time and the video went viral? I remember how they just left it alone and continued like it wasn’t there. I thought that was nice. Most other places would have tried to shoo it off the stage.
